FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure is generally related to providing caller identification information.

BACKGROUND

With the increased usage of mobile communication devices, such as mobile telephones, it has become more common for a household to have multiple communication devices. When an incoming communication is received at a particular one of the communication devices in a household, it may be inconvenient and time consuming to find the particular communication device that is receiving the communication. As a result, a user may not be able to readily identify who is calling. Hence, there is a need for an improved system and method for providing caller identification information.

FIG. 1 depicts a first particular embodiment of a system to provide caller identification information, generally designated 100. The system 100 includes a content provider 102 transmitting video content via an access network 104 to one or more user residences, such as residence 106. The system 100 also includes a video processing device 108 adapted to receive the video content and present a display including the video content at a display device 120. In an illustrative embodiment, the video processing device 108 may include a set-top box device, such as an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) set-top box; a video recorder device, such as a digital video recorder (DVR); a cable box; a video gaming device or console; a personal computer or other computing device; any other device adapted to receive and process video content from a network; or any combination thereof.

In a particular embodiment, the video processing device 108 may also be adapted to receive caller identification information from a communication device, such as a first communication device 114 or a second communication device 118. The video processing device 108 may receive caller identification information via a wireless communication protocol, such as Bluetooth, 802.11x, Wi-Fi, ultrawideband (UWB), Wimax, any other wireless local area network protocol or wireless communications protocol, or any combination thereof. The video processing device 108 may also be adapted to include data related to the caller identification information in the display presented at the display device 120. The data associated with the caller identification information may include a telephone number associated with a calling party; a name of the calling party; a graphic associated with the calling party, such as a symbol or photograph; any other information indicating an identification of the calling party; or any combination thereof.

The distinctive display may include a color pattern (or color code) associated with the first communication device 114; a name associated with the first communication device 114; a name of a first user 112 associated with the first communication device 114; a graphic associated with the first communication device 114, such as a photograph or symbol associated with first user 112 or the first communication device 114; a location in which the data related to the caller identification information is displayed; any other display pattern; or any combination thereof.

In another example, the video processing device 108 may include a second display profile associated with the second communication device 118. The second display profile may include information to generate a distinctive display to present caller identification information received from the second communication device 118. In a particular illustrative embodiment, the display profiles may be user-configurable. That is, a user, such as the first user 112 or the second user 116, may interact with the video processing device 108 to specify a display profile associated with a particular communication device, such as the first communication device 114 or the second communication device 118.

In a particular embodiment, the video processing device 108 may process video content received from the content provider 102 and provide a display at the display device 120 including the video content. In an illustrative embodiment, the caller identification information may be presented overlaying the video content at the display device 120. The video processing device 108 may also process audio data received from the content provider 102 and may transmit the audio content via a wireless communication protocol to an audio device. In an illustrative embodiment, the video processing device 108 may transmit the audio data via wireless communication to an audio device. In a particular illustrative embodiment, the audio device may include headphones or an earpiece associated with one or more of the communication devices 114, 118, such as a Bluetooth earpiece.

The communication device data 220 may include information identifying a plurality of recognized communication devices. For example, the recognized communication devices may include one or more communication devices that have been registered with the video processing device 202. In a particular embodiment, the communication device data 220 may include information to identify a communication device from which caller identification information was received. For example, when the communication device 228 transmits caller identification information to the video processing device 202 using a wireless protocol, the wireless protocol may include identification information associated with the communication device 228. The identification information may include, for example, a media access control (MAC) address, an internet protocol (IP) address, any other identifiers associated with communication devices 228, or any combination thereof. In a particular embodiment, a communication from the communication device 228 to the video processing device 202 may include both the caller identification information and the identification of the communication device 228. Based on the identification of the communication device 228, the logic 214 may select a display profile associated with the communication device 228 to generate a display that identifies the communication device 228 and includes data related to the caller identification information. In a particular embodiment, the display profile associated with the communication device 228 may specify a color pattern; a graphic to display with the data related to the caller identification information; a name of a party associated with the communication device 228 to display with the caller identification information; any other information to identify the communication device 228 or a party associated with the communication device 228; or any combination thereof.
